Signs you need expansion joint sealing in Cassington
Repeated failure often traces back to the wrong product. A stiff or general-purpose sealant across a joint with large movement won’t cope. BS EN ISO 11600 classifies building sealants by movement capability.
Clients normally get in touch after noticing one or more of the following:
- Brittle, chalky sealant on external joints
- Layers of sealant in a movement joint
- Debris jammed in movement joints
- Rain penetration at brick or block movement joints
A campus such as University Field Station (to the south-east of Cassington) has long runs of movement joint in its buildings, decks and paving.
What your quote should include
- Will CSCS-carded applicators be on site?
- Proof of insurance
- Is depth set with backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints?
- Whether old or failed sealant will be cut out, not overlaid
Expansion joint sealing in Cassington
Internal floor joints take trolleys, pallet trucks and forklifts. Without a sound filler, joint edges chip and spall under load. We will tell you if the edges need repairing before sealing and phasing can keep areas working. Site teams most often ask us about brittle, chalky sealant on external joints and joints where the bead has lost adhesion, across brickwork movement joints, car park decks and ramps and podiums and floor movement joints. For commercial sealant work in Cassington, you deal with one contact from quote to sign-off, whether it’s one building or several.
In and around smaller places like Cassington, the concrete floors we see are often in converted farm buildings, small workshops and storage units. Whether it’s a farm store turned workshop or a storage unit, the joints need a product that suits the traffic.
Our 12-month guarantee is about workmanship, not wear and tear. How long a sealant joint lasts depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use, so we spell out the cover before we begin.

Our process
We follow your site rules from the start: sign-in, induction and whatever permit system the building uses. With the paperwork done, we take the joints in the sequence agreed with you, and each area is checked before we leave it. Rural sites near Cassington may need directions, gate codes or a contact on site. Send that with the details and we will confirm the plan with the quote.
- We look at the joints, their width and how they’ve failed.
- A fixed quote follows, naming the sealant and its movement class.
- Old sealant and filler are cut out and the joint faces cleaned back to sound material, flagging any broken edges that need repair before sealing.
- We control the depth with backing rod or, in shallow joints, bond-breaker tape.
- Where the maker calls for primer, it’s applied first, then the bead goes in and is tooled to a concave finish.
- We check every joint before sign-off, and the work carries our 12-month guarantee.
Preparing the site
- For older buildings, check the asbestos register before work
- Let building users know which areas are affected
- Point out any areas we must not close

When can you be on site?
Give us your site hours and any access windows in your enquiry, and we will schedule the work to suit. You can reach the office between 8am and 5pm, Monday to Friday.
What if the joint edges are damaged?
Broken arrises have to be put right before resealing. A bead on a broken edge soon lets go.
When it isn’t the sealant
We check first that sealant really is the fix. It isn’t the answer for:
- Concrete or masonry repairs along the arrises
- Changing the joint layout or spacing of a structure
- Mechanical expansion joint covers, cover plates or proprietary joint systems (a specialist supplier’s job)
Not sure which it is? You can phone 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

What the job involves on each surface
Cladding panel joints
Cladding panels move more than masonry as they heat and cool. The joints need a low-modulus sealant with enough movement capability in a colour confirmed for that product.
Internal floor movement joints
Forklift and pallet-truck wheels break unsupported joint edges. We match the product to the traffic and the movement, and tell you if edges need repairing first.
How the quote is worked out
Before we quote, we look at:
- Whether the work must be split into stages
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
- Which sealant the job calls for
- Access and working height
What a job costs comes down to the quantity of joints, what has to come out first and the access. Call for a fixed quote when you are ready.
Sending details for a quote
However big the job, the same details help:
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
- Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule
- What the building is and how it’s used
- Anything awkward about access or site hours
Send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed: that’s how every job runs. To take the first step, phone 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings.
Why it’s worth doing now in Cassington
Doing joint resealing alongside other planned works can save on access. But joints already letting water in shouldn’t wait for a programme because damage continues. We can split the scope into urgent and planned. Converted and older buildings near places like Cassington tend to move, and aged sealant cracks. A sealant with the right movement capability, correctly sized, lasts far better.
A quote for movement joints depends on how many there are, their condition and the access, and any specification that applies. Ask us for a fixed quote.
What you get with us
- Colours chosen to suit frames, cladding or finishes where possible
- Old sealant cut out, never sealed over
- 12 months’ guarantee on every job
- Fully insured, including public liability cover

Slabs, ramps and loading bays in Cassington
Cassington sits in one of the drier corners of the country, the South East. Even so, yard and car park joints are only sealed when they’re dry and clean, and where de-icing salt is spread in winter, open joints let it in. The 3 miles around Cassington take in at least three named trading estates, business parks or retail parks. Their warehouses, yards and car parks are exactly where joints take the most punishment.
Business parks such as Oasis Business Park (1.9 miles south-west of Cassington) have car parks, paved areas and long brick and panel elevations, all with movement joints. In a school such as St Peter's Church of England Primary School, movement joints in brick, block and hall floors tend to be forgotten until they leak.
